Справочник Пользователя для Epson LX-80

LX-80 printer can print such complicated combinations as double-

strike emphasized expanded underlined italic subscript, although
we’re not sure that you would ever want to use such a combination.
The point is, however, that the LX-80 has the ability to produce

almost any combination you can think of; it’s up to you to decide

which ones you want to use.

To see a few combinations, remove line 90 from the master prog-

ram. (In MBASIC simply type 90 and press 

RETURN to delete the

line.) Now run the program once and enter “E” and “emphasized” in

response to the questions on the screen. This will give you the same
results as the first time you ran the program, but it will leave the

printer in emphasized mode so that you can add another mode. Then

run the program again (without turning off the printer). The second

time enter “W1” and “emphasized expanded.”

Your printout should be in the typestyle below, showing that the

two modes combine with no trouble. You can experiment with other

combinations if you wish or you can wait for the section later in this
chapter that explains a special ESCape code, Master Select, which
allows you to combine as many as seven features with one ESCape
code.

When you are through trying combinations, be sure to replace line

90 in the master program so that you can again try one feature at a
time.

You may occasionally want to print italic words for emphasis,

titles, or other uses. The LX-80 has italic mode to enable you to use

italic characters for any purpose. Although characters produced by
the previous modes in this manual are modifications of the standard

pica characters, the LX-80 uses completely different characters for the

italic mode. In the printer’s Read Only Memory (ROM) is a complete
set of draft italic characters. You can see the difference between stan-

dard and italic draft characters in Figure 6-4.
